Umm, far be it for me to express what is the standard / recommended Radiant Way™. It is still very early days for me and Radiant (not to mention blowing the dust off my Ruby and Rails knowledge).
I just saw it as a way to achieve multiple behaviour from the one transaction without forking the code. That said many people do seem to fork things to get what they want, and push back if they are generous. The prefix addition would be a natural example of forking rather than just creating an additional extension, in your case. I've used mailer for a simple contact form. My cursory look at the code didn't suggest a clean way to be able to use the one form submission to generate two separate emails.
